^^The Apocalpse Now blu-ray is about as definitive as you can get really. It’s jam packed with features, and the picture is excellent.
Looking forward to getting Taxi Driver blu-ray. I ordered it last week.
I will only list films that (in my opinion) either don’t have passable releases or if it’s an OOP DVD and extremely rare. So, if it already has a 2-disc special edition from Warner Bros. or some other mainstream distributor, I won’t list it.
So, here goes…
- Nazarin (1959 – Luis Bunuel)
- The Devils (1971 – Ken Russell)
- Face to Face (1976 – Ingmar Bergman)(Wouldn’t be surprised if Criterion’s already working getting the rights)
- The Elephant Man (1980 – David Lynch)
- The Terminator (1984 – James Cameron)
- Hail Mary (1985 – Jean-Luc Godard)
- Kids (1995 – Larry Clark)(Maybe not as Criterion-worthy to some, but I’d love to hear more about this film since there are practically NO documentaries or anything like that out there)
- Gummo (1997 – Harmony Korine)
- I Stand Alone (1998 – Gaspar Noe), with Carne (1991) added in the bonus features.
- Buffalo ‘66 (1998 – Vincent Gallo)
- The Blair Witch Project (1999 – Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sanchez)(Whether you love or hate it, there’s no denying it’s importance in the horror genre)
- Lilya 4-Ever (2002 – Lukas Moodysson)
- The Brown Bunny (2003 – Vincent Gallo)
A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
True Stories (1986 — David Byrne)
Gummo (1997 — Harmony Korine)
Blue (1993 — Derek Jarman)
A Bruce Connor retrospective would be nice.
Anything by Matthew Barney, but this is impossible.
Well, damn. Sorry.
Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon
Luis Bunuel’s Un Chien Andalau and L’Age d’Or
David Lynch’s Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive
Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time In America
Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Conformist
Orson Welles The Magnificent Ambersons
Alejandro Amenábar’s Open Your Eyes
Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita

I guess so, but some more special features may be nice on a few (especially 1900) Taxi Driver blu ray is great though so I guess you have a point, a good one.
